Sharks add goalie, defenseman in trade with Chicago Blackhawks
SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks added some organization depth in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday, acquiring veteran goalie Laurent Brossoit, defenseman Nolan Allan, and a 2028 seventh-round selection for the contract of defenseman Ryan Ellis, AHL defenseman Jake Furlong, and a 2028 fourth-round selection.
The key to the deal for the Sharks is the 32-year-old Brossoit, who has played in 140 NHL games, most recently during the 2023-24 season when he appeared in 23 games with the Winnipeg Jets.
Healthy again after a challenging, injury-filled year that caused him to miss the entire 2024-25 season, Brossoit was 3-3-0 in six games with the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL. His addition gives the Sharks an experienced third goalie who can remain in the AHL for the time being with Yaroslav Askarov and Alex Nedeljkovic on the NHL roster.
Brossoit, in his 12-year professional career, compiling a 64-46-13 record and a .911 save percentage with the Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, and Vegas Golden Knights. Brossoit was on Vegas’ Stanley Cup-winning roster in 2022-23, where he appeared in eight games, recording a .894 save percentage along with a 5-2 record.
